The fundraiser will support the Friends of Birch State Park and its efforts to enhance the park. Funds raised will be matched dollar by dollar up to $50,000 by an anonymous donor.

"We're very excited to be a part of the Friends of Birch State Park's efforts to Bring Birch Back," said Ginny Miller, who is chairing the event. "We also want to finish raising funds for Marti's Meditation Garden, named in memory of our friend Marti Huizenga, who donated and raised funds for the garden as last year's chair."
